Charles Ales, a non-denominational Christian from Frogtown, Pittsburgh, loves classic Fords so much that he's building the Mustang Church of America.
Set to open this summer, the church already has its logo ready - a Christian fish with the Mustang horse inside. Ales plans to preside over car shows, swaps and two Mustang blessings each year.
Ales' collection of classic Mustangs - including all three of Ford's in-house 'Boss' specials - will be housed within the church. The wall behind the pulpit will feature a mural of - and we're really, really not making this up - Jesus at the wheel of a 1966 Mustang.
"Somebody asked me if I wasn't worried about people thinking this was sacrilegious," says Ales. "Well, I hope Jesus has a sense of humour."
Jesus is yet to comment on the revelations.
